Under current rules, UK care providers are permitted to sponsor care workers from overseas under the Health & Care Worker visa.
In this guide for employers we explain the current rules on hiring care workers from abroad and what you need to do to be able to recruit internationally.
In a further boost to support international recruitment within the adult social care sector, the Government announced in February 2023 it is allocating £15 million over the course of 2023 to 2024 to help reduce barriers, such as administrative complexity and cost, when recruiting staff from overseas.
The fund was launched by the Department of Health and Social Care. It applies to providers in England only, who can use the funding in areas such as:
- Finding and attracting overseas candidates
- Assisting with sponsor licence applications and visa applications
- Helping new overseas workers access affordable housing
